  • Peter Chan is a master at Bonsai.
Format: Paperback
Enjoyed reading this excellent book by Peter Chan. The book is an older one, but the few somewhat dated pictures doesn't change any of the valuable information that Mr. Chan passes along. Lots good pictures of beautiful Bonsai trees! Great for Bonsai lovers, those practiced or just starting out. Lots of techniques, ideas and inspiration inside. Plus it makes for an interesting coffee table book as well. ... show more

  • Well written and comprehensive
Format: Kindle
This is a well written, very comprehensive book for the bonsai hobbyist. I loved the pictures and the history of the hobby. I got the Kindle version for my Fire tablet so I can enlarge the small pictures to see detail. I'm not sure how big the pictures would be in a hard copy of the book. I also liked the way the author organised the information using lists to begin the explanations. Personally, although I enjoy reading about bonsai I have to say that I actually learned more from watching You Tube videos. Maybe it is the reinforcing of the information by seeing it done and reading about it but I definitely need both mediums to understand how to actually plant, trim, and wire a plant to make a miniature tree. ... show more

  • Very interesting and informative
Format: Kindle
I purchased this as I have always enjoyed Herons Bonsai videos on YouTube. I especially liked the bonsai calendar section. I did think that the pictures could have been a higher quality, but I expect they were photos of the book. A great read for beginners and experianced persons! Carl in Dover DE

  • A good guide
Format: Paperback
Beautiful pictures with good instructions for new and old bonsai lovers. This book had helps from starting, planting, choosing the pots, trimming styles and design ideas for a bonsai garden without getting overly technical. It was a great gift.

  • Educate yourself in the art of Bonsai just like if you were going to school.
Format: Paperback
I'm new to the Bonsai world. They are no places around where I live that teach Bonsai art. So, I decided to buy a book and learn myself. First book I bought (The Complete Practical Encyclopedia of Bonsai by Ken Norman) left me wanting more. There's a lot of great pictures but that's about it. All the techniques weren't explained very well. So I went on Amazon and bought another book, Bonsai (101 Essential Tips) by Harry Tomlinson. This one is a short book about how to create your first Bonsai. It works well if you just want to make "a bonsai". I actually could recommend this one. However, I wanted to make more than just "a bonsai". I want to create "The Bonsai", I decided I needed to read more than one book about Bonsai trees. That's were this book "Bonsai: The Art of Growing and Keeping Miniature Trees" by Peter Chan comes into play. I honestly can say that this felt like being educated at a higher level into making competition level Bonsai trees. Feels like sitting down at school and learning the history, meaning, and techniques of creating beautiful Bonsai trees. I can't say that this is "The Only" bonsai book that you need, simply because no one becomes a master at anything by just reading "One" book. You will probably need to read several books, look at videos over the internet, join blogs and practice with a lot of trees. But this book will definitely help you to get there. 100% Recommended. ... show more
